Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has conducted the first test of a 100 percent locally produced and electric excavator.
According to Gadin.Net, Erdogan got behind the wheel and set the vehicle in motion. He said he was ready to provide any assistance to bring the excavator to market.
In 2016, the project to develop an electric excavator was launched. It weighs 7 tons and has a carrying capacity of 600 kilograms. Thanks to the energy reserve, the machine can work for 8 hours. The excavator, which collects full energy in 3 and a half hours, can cover a distance of 30 kilometers per hour.
